It embodies the design, craftsmanship and materials of Arts and Crafts residential architecture and retains integrity. Distinguishing features include the shingle roof with rolled eaves, low horizontal form, wide porch/porte-cochere, decorative barge board and half-timbering.","narrative":"Built in 1917 for Lydia C. Edmonds, a widow, this one-and-one-half-story bungalow on Wentworth Avenue in Pasadena's Oak Knoll subdivision was designed by architect Arthur S. Heineman. It interprets the English Cotswold cottage in a California setting. Low horizontal massing, arcing and hipped roofs with rolled eaves, and wood shingles give it that character; the shingles replaced thatch that originally covered the roof. A broad entrance porch merges into a porte-cochere, supported by squat brick piers and blocky wooden supports. Decorative barge board and half-timbering add detail. Inside, a Batchelder-designed fireplace anchors the living room, and the dining room keeps its wood paneling, pocket doors and built-in cabinetry. A two-bay garage and a lattice gazebo also contribute to the property, while a 1954 swimming pool does not. The house was listed for its architecture, as an excellent example of Arts and Crafts residential design in Pasadena that retains its integrity.","period_of_significance":"1917","architect_builder":"Heineman, Alfred S.
